Old Friends; New Songs
Lately I've been spending some time locked up in dark places with my friend Paul Christensen. We've mostly been drinking cheap beer and cooking whatever we can find in our respective refrigerators. While Paul is a great cook and a really handsome dude, he's also one of my all time favorite musicians. You can see him perform with Weinland and sometimes with Rachel Blumberg's new band, Arch Cape.
Paul and I have crafted a few new songs and we have decided to debut this material in Chehalis, WA. Why? Well, Chehalis is exactly halfway between Seattle and Portland and we wanted to try this stuff out far away from major metropolitan areas. Ya know, in case something blows up.
Phil O'Sullivan & Paul Christensen
(Debuting songs from Peter to Peter - Sack of Gold)
May 8 - 8pm - $6.00
Matrix Coffee House
434 Northwest Prindle Street
Chehalis, WA 98532-2031

If you are thinking about traveling to this show, shoot us a note at phil.and.paul.sing.songs@gmail.com . We'll have special prizes for anyone who travels to the show. We'll also make plans for an after party.
Chehalis!

Sonic Sitka Project
I'm proud to announce that I'll be spending some time in Florida later this month participating in the Newport Guitar Festival. While this won't be my first trip the Newport Guitar Festival, it will undoubtedly be the most interesting.
This year, I will be helping my dear friend, Denis Merrill with the Sonic Sitka Project. This project is designed to further the conversation about the acoustic guitar by gathering data on instruments built from the same materials. You can read all about it at guitarbench.com
I'm looking forward to spending next week documenting the sounds of these incredible new instruments. Stay tuned for updates, photos and even some soundbites from the show.
In other news:
Friday Mile is gearing up for a few dates this spring.
I will also be making a few solo appearances in the coming months. Last month's show at Seattle's new Hard Rock Cafe was a great success. Thanks for coming and get ready for more new songs and maybe even some music from a couple of new endeavors. Keep your eyes here for updates or visit me on myspace.

Friday Mile's New Album, Good Luck Studio
About a year ago I joined forces with Seattle's sweetest pop band, Friday Mile. 12 months ago, (almost to the day) I made my official debut with the band at the Tractor Tavern in Ballard. Next month we'll play the Tractor on Nov. 13, with The Banyans and The Dimes to celebrate the completion and release of our new album, Good Luck Studio. The following night we'll head down to Portland to do the same thing at Mississippi Studios.
I for one am elated to see this album take flight. Music isn't worth much until it's being encountered by people. Your interactions with the music will give it whatever life it is meant to have. We can't wait to see the little guy leave the nest. NOW FLY!
You can keep tabs on us in the following months by visiting www.fridaymile.com. You can join our Mailing List, our Facebook Fan Page, MySpace Page, Twitter Feed and all of that stuff too. There are a million ways to be a fan.
In other news: Stay tuned for more action here in months to come. I'll be posting some new songs, scratch tracks, tuba experiments and other oddities as I move forward musically. I also almost promise to play a show or two and do a better job of keeping up my ol' website. Hold your breath.
